This is a place for discussing flags and coats-of-arms. Doesn't matter if you want to do it scholarly or casually; doesn't matter if you're discussing flags of real countries or heraldry of Westeros, or if you're making OC of your own, this is a place for that.

To get started, you should probably acquaint yourself with the vocabulary used in vexillology and heraldry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_vexillology

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achievement_%28heraldry%29

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Illustrated_atlas_of_French_and_English_heraldic_terms (very resourceful; Wikimedia has a lot of .svg that you can use for creating OC)

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Blasons/Meubles

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Blasons/Pièces

http://www.heraldica.org/topics/glossary/atlas.htm

Taken from the /flags/ sticky:

>>how do you make those custom flags?

>Well, any image software would do. But this is one of the best tools to get started in flag-making:

Quite some countries have the civil flag plain (without), and state/government defaced with the coat of arms.

It's not a Coat of Arms, it's a National Symbol. Star of Issar/Samas is more qualifying as such rather, but they have no official CoA.

Second pic is closest to their actual CoA in use, but I can't find it in better version and it have wrong colouration.

I'm beginning a mod for Making History: The Calm & The Storm and needed to make new flags. I have to do about 50 in total from what I am planning and need new ideas. I can change the colours of each flag if I need to, but I don't want every flag looking the same. There are 4 types of government in the game: Fascism, Authoritarian, Democratic, and Communist.

Two althistory flags I made;

First one is a flag for the Central Powers, but I don't really like it. It's too long and doesn't look as good as I thought it would, but I'll put it here anyway.

Second one is for an anglophobic, pure Boer South Africa with the Voortrekker saltire instead of the Union Jack. Maybe an alternate history with a far smaller amount of white British south africans compared to Afrikaners?

ITT: really bad flags that are totally legit, be it a country, city, organisation, etc.

I'll start with the newly established Eurasian Union (January 1st, 2015) and its shitty fucking flag. It's like they wanted to have their own EU flag and took blue and yellow, but they decided to give them that unique, Russian twist and made it look like shit. Also, see that Star Trek-esque design.

The fuck are you talking about? It's the best flag ever.

>According to legend, the flag was invented by Duke Leopold V of Austria as a consequence of his fighting during the Siege of Acre. After a fierce battle, his white surcoat was completely drenched in blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth underneath was untouched by it, revealing the combination of red-white-red. So taken was he by this singular sight that he adopted the colors and scheme as his banner.

I just started a project to make simple socialist flags. The common factor between the flags is, a simple use of the country/place olours flag and a main red element. i have decided to get rid of any other simbol apart from the colours itself to make it even more simple.

In the cases of Ireland and Canada, I decided to keep the simbols for recognizement purposes. For example, Peru has the same color scheme as Canada and the Harp is a universally recognized symbol of the Island.

Thoughts? Feel free to contribute.

Yeah you could probably stylize the tree and call it a day.

I'm not sure. The Bald Eagle comes off as too American. Perhaps they have their own animal? Also, I like the idea of having a shield with something on it instead of something holding a shield.

Yeah it's too American.

Perhaps a Kermode bear would work?

NZ wants to give people the decision to change flags;

https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/the-nz-flag-your-chance-to-decide/

there's a lot of flags submitted, some decent, some terrible, some are meme material.

I prefer the second (red, white, blue) flag design. The other options are kinda shit.

I really like the red/white/blue with southern cross. Good design. I've liked it since I saw it on the proposal page they ran.

>It's supposed to represent liberty, egality and fraternity.

Wrong, this is a urban legend. The french flag represents Paris (blue and red) protecting the monarchy (white).

Anything which interests you in video-games heraldry and vexillology?

Like Paradox games+Kaissereich, Arma or Freeciv, I liked Flags from there.

Here posted: Chernarus, Takistan, ChDKZ and Sahrani from ArmA II, popular game on certain German imageboard.

I'll also create distinct thread for FreeCiv (and possibly for Paradoxgame, if someone will want to post Flags in their format), as I'm interested in their flags too and how to do/replace them. I find some of their choices for fantastic heraldry/vexillology >>53 stupid.

Can someone make a clean version of this flag ? I know it's not from a game, it's from X-men movie. I like it, a mutant supremacy flag, but I lack the skills to do it.

What exactly is that symbol? Y and + atop of each other?
